S1 Ep 1S1 Ep1: Three Point Specialist | The Distant Replay (Abe Beuttler)

Welcome to the first episode of The Distant Replay, hosted by Abe Beuttler. In this episode, I will be going one on one with NBA expert A. Sherrod Blakely to discuss the evolution of the NBA three point line. A number of topics will be discussed including how the line came to be, and who made it popular. Stephen Curry will be a focus of discussion, as well as what is going on with the current Boston Celtics. There’s a lot behind the history of this line, and we are going to do a deep dive to exemplify the impacts it has had on the NBA today. On this episode, we all share a common goal. We want to figure out why three-point shooting has become such a staple of the game today. Why are teams taking so many shots from behind the line? Will this continue? These are some of the questions we will answer during this episode of The Distant Replay. Be sure to stick around for our first “On Deck Hot Seat” segment, where Bobby Manning of CLNS media will join us to answer a few tricky NBA questions. He has some interesting answers to some of the surprise questions we hit him with. Prime Jokic or Prime Curry? We'll get Bobby's answer on this question and a couple others along the way.

But before we do, let's acknowledge this struggle, because it's in the struggle that the seeds of resilience are sown. Mr Bertman's perseverance became the foundation upon which he built his illustrious career. So to all the buddling architects out there grappling with early challenges, know that you're not alone. Every rejection, every closed door is a step closer to the breakthrough you seek. Stay tuned as we dive deep into the life and mind of Mr Richard Bertman. This is Survive to Thrive where resilience feels success. Ready to thrive, let's continue this extraordinary journey. In the coming minutes we'll uncover the secrets of thriving and missed life's challenges, explore the fusion of architecture and sculpture and gain valuable advice from a true master of the craft. Hit, play and let's unravel the extraordinary tale. Mr Richard Bertman, architect, sculptor and thriver Well, so can you share, like some insights into your journey from Harvard University, mit and then, eventually, the University of California at Berkeley? 0:03:11 – Guest Richard BertmanLet's see, I started Harvard. I got into Harvard, which was good, and then I knew I wanted to be an architect. But I think I was lucky in that, from grandma school, studying Greek mythology, I remember loving what the Greeks were doing in architecture and thinking, boy, I'd love to do that, and in fact that's what I became an architect. And so I knew when I went to Harvard that I wanted to be an architect. So I graduated Harvard and needed to go to a professional school and MIT was close by, and so I applied there and luckily got in, and that's where I started architecture, learning about architecture. 0:03:52 – Host: Max Mandel Awesome. That's a pretty impressive resume, right An illustration exam. 0:03:55 – Guest: Richard BertmanSo, anyhow, I graduated with my degree at MIT as a Bachelor of Architecture and then worked for three or four years getting first hand experience in some architectural offices Founding principal right of CPT right Child's Mars, child's Child's Bertman, sechorus Sechorus incorporation. 0:04:16 – Host: Max MandelCan you discuss some of the key projects or design philosophies that have defined your architectural career? These are tough questions. They are. I like to ask the tough questions. 0:04:27 – Guest: Richard BertmanWell, let's see when we started. We started in the basement of my two family house and I remember my wife was our secretary, so she and it was, I think, three or four stories from the basement where we set up the office and we just used some tables and chairs and file cabinets to make drafting boards. And I remember some experiences, you know. I think we had our first client who wanted to build a library no, not build a library, convert an existing building into a library and make a library out of it. And I remember that he was coming over to interview us. And so we had friends who worked at various offices around town and we had them come over and come to my basement and sit in these chairs and pretend they were drafting, while this potential client came to our office. And so he came, saw that everything seemed good, left and then everybody who was in the office went back to work at the offices they were working in. But we got that job and that was the beginning of the architectural practice. 0:05:31 – Host: Max MandelThat's awesome, and there's always a path. Your office had received over like 200 design awards. Could you highlight a few projects that you're particularly proud of and share the stories behind those projects that you're particularly proud of? 0:05:43 – Guest: Richard BertmanI'm proud of all of them and I think a lot of my success had to do with really being thoughtful and careful about what I was doing. It was really to produce something good. The making of money is important, but I think what I found was just trying to do good work was the most important thing and that made me happy and that's why I always loved what I was doing. And I do remember it led to my writing a book on the design process because it had never been very. You know, all architects have to learn how to design and that isn't well taught. It's hard to teach that, not how you go about it. And I remember teaching and so I wrote a book and I did a house for someone at one point and I remember writing down everything that I was doing. I would make sketches and I would think about what I was doing when I was doing those sketches and I would write that down.
